Say goodbye messy pedicures and hello to finally feeling the sweet freedom of open toed shoes in summer.

Japanese fashion company Belle Maison has a time saving solution for those of us out there who have little time and little hand coordination for painting our toenails -- thin stockings with pre-painted toenails.

If you're worried about looking a little out-of-date with the classic stockings and open-toed heels that your grandma used to wear, don't fret. The stockings are designed to fit individual toes, giving your pedicure a better fit as well.

The stockings come in a variety of toenail colors, but unfortunately only one skin tone. According to the Belle Maison website, a full-waist pair costs around $13 USD (1,500 JPY). The knee length version sells for around $11 USD (1,200 JPY).

It's a small price to pay for such a polished look during the summer months, while also being cheaper than getting a professional pedicure and easier than a DIY job. 

However, as much as you'll love your pretty toes, you might miss the feeling of a fresh breeze on your bare legs when the humidity hits 100%.
